Grundfos Introduces Efficient Motor with an IE5 Rating

For the first time in the Asia Pacific Grundfos has launched the new generation Grundfos MGE motors, from 0.25 kW to 11 kW.

These MGE IE5 motors will enable Grundfos pumps to reach 10 per cent in energy savings and 25 per cent in payback time, as compared to the IE3 solution.

Reaching IE5 in efficiency means that businesses, residences and industrial players will not only meet but exceed IE3 premium efficiency legislative standards set worldwide, including the European Union, the US, and Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and China in Asia Pacific Region. To align with international standards, minimum energy performance standards for industrial motors in Singapore will be set at IE3 level from 1 October 2018.

Eric Lai, Regional Business Director – Industry, Asia Pacific Region, Grundfos said the pump manufacturer is dedicated to supporting worldwide efforts to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, in line with the Paris Agreement commitments.

“Sustainability is a very important part of Grundfos’ DNA and we aim to create cleaner and more energy efficient technologies to enable our customers to reduce their water and energy consumption to limit the impact on the environment.

“Our new MGE motors are a result of our continuous development efforts and extensive experience in the pumps sector. They perform to the highest standards and we are proud to announce they have been awarded IE5, the highest energy efficiency rating worldwide,” Eric Lai said.

The key to Grundfos’ new MGE motors’ performance is their intelligent solutions as they adapt to the surrounding system which, coupled with the high-efficiency IE5 motor, drive down energy consumption.

With their integrated frequency converters, these motors combine the accumulated pump experience of Grundfos into their dedicated control software. This combination of pump and customisable software optimises a system’s performance for any load point, delivering an unsurpassed reduction of energy consumption.

The new IE5 classified MGE-motors have a wide range of applications in industrial and commercial building sectors.
